New-Fashioned Pot Pie

In this recipe, a combination of soy, rice and potato starch flours are used in the crust; cornstarch replaces wheat flour as the thickener in the filling; and wheat-free tamari is used as a seasoning. If youre allergic to corn as well as wheat, use 1/4 cup mashed potatoes to replace the cornstarch mixture.

In medium saucepan, combine stock, tamari, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, whisk in cornstarch mixture and cook, whisking constantly until thickened, about 1 minute. Pour sauce over tofu and vegetables in casserole. Stir well to coat with sauce; set aside.

To make Crust: In food processor, combine flours, baking powder, salt and oil and process until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With motor running, slowly add water through feed tube and process until dough forms a ball. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into shape of casserole dish. Carefully place crust over casserole, crimping edges.
